Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are doing well. I know I am little behind but wanted to go over the Summer Fabfitfun subscription.

One thing I loved this box this that it got you all set for the summer with a weightless sunscreen with SPF 50+, a gorgeous ruana that triples as a scarf, sarong, and poncho, a glass water bottle to ensure you stay hydrated. You can also add some flare to the box with soothing eye concentrate, highlighter, massage oil, natural stone necklace, and even an art kit.

Eau Thermale Avene Ultra-Light Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+(Retails $24): This sheer light sunscreen contains broad spectrum SPF 50+ UVA/UVB filters and is enriched with powerful antioxidant and soothing Avène Thermal Spring Water. I have to say, this sunscreen is quite light and hydrating. I one thing that I loved the most about this lotion is that it meets the TSA size standards.

Michael Stars Ruana (Retails $54): I love this scarf. You can as a scarf, sarong, or simply drape it like a shawl. I love the soft fabric. I wore all summer long so many different ways. I still wear it.

Little bkr – 500 mL(Retails $35): This gorgeous rosy glass water bottle comes in convenient 500 mL to carry to the gym. What better way to stay hydrated.

Little bkr Juice Beauty Smoothing Eye Concentrate(Retails $29): This concentrate contains certified organic grape and carrot juices blended with essential fatty acids and Vitamins B5, C and P to hydrate for healthy, beautiful eyes. It’s daily essential for all skin types. I have sensitive skin. It feels great on the skin. I haven’t been using this long. I love that it contains natural, organic ingredients. I can’t wait to see a difference.

Way of Will 03 Soothe and Cool Massage Oil(Retails $29.50): Had a rough day or workout? This massage oil infused with 100% natural essential oils. The oils improve the protective barrier function of the skin, increase hydration, elasticity, and suppleness, while cools affected areas post exercise. I found it quite soothing.

Cargo HD Picture Perfect Highlighter in Bronze (Retails $30): Its lightweight and velvety powder formula go on flawlessly yet remains invisible to the camera. I love that it silky smooth formula and how subtle yet buildable it is.

Kris Nations Mystic Bar Necklace in Moonstone (Retails $58): These stones are hand-cut by craftsmen in India and each one has an attribute that helps you live every day with positive intentions. It’s made with 18k gold overlay with moonstone which provides inner peace, strength, and growth.

Amy Tangerine “Ready, Set, Create!” Art Kit (Retails $22): The goal of this kit is to bring your inner artist. To be honest, this my least favorite. I used to paint with oil paints and this looks like kids stuff to me. I guess I will have to give it to my niece.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a lovely Memorial Day. I want to start by giving my salute and heartfelt gratitude to all those who gave their lives serving our country and those are currently serving to protect our freedom. Today, I want to talk to you about the Girl Lip Stylo from Hourglass.

Description: The lip stylo contains a blend of shea butter, jojoba, mimosa, and sunflower seed. It is Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates free.

Verdict: The lip stylo is quite pigmented. It is creamy and moisturizing, natural looking and it fades away nicely. Moreover, it feels so comfortable on the lips and really sinks in while maintaining a long lasting color on the lips. The only downside to it is the price. One stylo will set you back $32. I am not sure if I am okay with that. Other than that I love this stylo.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a great Wednesday. Today I want to talk to you about the April Ipsy Glam Bag. As you know, Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription. Each month you will receive full size or deluxe size items and a cute makeup bag. I think it’s one of the best value beauty subscriptions and a great way to build out your makeup collection for just $10 a month.

Description: The May Glam Bag came in a clear plastic bag with pictures of favorite summer treats in it. Yes, you got it right, it’s ice cream. The bag is perfect for making a splash at pool parties. Inside are five products: Urban Decay Afterglow highlighter powder in Sin, IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black, Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Surfer Girl, Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray, and Caked Makeup Lip Fondant in Low Key.

Urban Decay Afterglow highlighter powder in Sin ($9 sample value): This is a long lasting highlighter. I have to admit that it is not pigmented as Becca but I love the subtle shade it creates. I also love how smoothly it glides on. It creates a natural glow.

IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black ($12 sample value): It is formulated with powerful peptides and proteins, strengthening biotin, lash lifting polymers and plumping collagen to help keep lashes healthy and strong. It keeps my lashes look more intense, longer and fuller. However, it does leave lashes a little clumpy.

Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Surfer Girl ($18): This nail polish is 5 Free, Cruelty-Free, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Vegan, and the formula is infused with organic bamboo extract, argan oil, and shea oil. I absolutely love the color. However, you have to layer it more than two layers to get a consistent color. Nevertheless, the color is perfect for the beach.

BriogeoRosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray: An ultra-light, leave-in conditioning spray that brings hydration and moisture to locks without weighing them down. However, I did not find it to be anything special.

Caked Makeup Lip Fondant in Low Key ($16): I actually am okay with the shade. However, it is a little drying on my lip. I addressed it by using eos as my lip primer.

My dear readers! Though I really love Ipsy, overall, the May Ipsy Glam Bag a is much better than the April one.

Description: It’s a dusty rose color. This is a long wear and a matte, high-pigment formula. It is also paraben. I received this lolita everlasting lipliner Kat Von D Von Box from Influensta.

Verdict: I absolutely love this lip color. I received these products for free. It perfectly matches the Lolita lipcolor that I have. It’s soft and thin and glides on easily. However, I would not wear it alone as it can be quite drying. Nonetheless, wearing my eos as a primer takes care of that issue. If you have a drying or sensitive lips, I would highly suggest wearing a primer or light balm as a primer to combact the dryness. Otherwise, this is an absolutely amazing color that love and have received a lot of completement on.

Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray ($20): This is an ultra-light, leave-in conditioning spray that brings hydration and moisture to locks without weighing them down. It is so light that you barely know you have it in. Additionally, it smells fantastic and it leaves my hair feeling really soft. However, I do recommend to use it sparingly It retails for $20.

Karuna Hydrating+ Face Mask Set of Four: It comes in a package of four beautiful, single-use, deep conditioning sheet masks to restore dry, dehydrated skin. This cooling hydrating face mask is absolutely amazing. I have sensitive skin and break out to quite a few things. This left my skin so soft and smooth. It retails for $28.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator ($79): This formula contains aluminum oxide crystals, lactic acid, and soothing botanicals to polish away dead skin cells, provide a radiant, healthy look, and smooth skin’s texture. It made my skin feel soft and smooth! I also feel like it took away some of the redness from previous my acne. It’s also very gentle on your skin. I use it 1-2 times a week.

MILLY Zip Pouch ($45): This is a water resistant pouch, hence great for a bathing suit bag or a cosmetics bag.

RealHer Lip Kit ($48): This lip kit contains a Matte Liquid Lipstick, Lip Plumping Lip Gloss, and a Lip Liner. The lipstick is very pigmented and last all day and so does the lip liner. However, the lip gloss is quite sticky, which I am not a big fan of.

Hi there my lovelies. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. How many of you want to set aside your foundation only for special occasions, yet want to have a glowing selfie all the time? If your answer is yes, then to you are in the place. Items that help me get the no-makeup makeup look are the BECCA Backlight Filter Face Primer and BECCA First Light Filter Face Primer. Each retails for $38.

Backlight Filter Face Primer: This primer acts as an instant filter and creates a diffused, soft-focused radiance that allows your complexion to catch the light for a glowing look. It is also infused with Becca’s proprietary blend of crushed pearls, creating a healthy-looking effect. This primer is perfect for that gorgeous dewy look. It’s so natural, that whenever I don’t have time to do my makeup, I just do my usual morning skincare routine and finish it with this primer.

First Light Filter Face Primer: This is a skin-awakening primer that instantly reduces the signs of a bad complexion day to leave the complexion fresh, awake, and hydrated. This makes my skin have a healthy glow from within that doesn’t look fake, or shimmery. It just makes it look healthy and hydrated. I use the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment and then two primers on top and finish with light concealer and highlighter. I got so many compliments on my look.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a great Saturday. Today I want to talk to you about the March Ipsy Glam Bag. As you know, Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription. Each month you will receive full size or deluxe size items and a cute makeup bag. I think it’s one of the best value beauty subscriptions and a great way to build out your makeup collection for just $10 a month.

Air Repair Skincare Complexion-Boosting Moisturizer: I love the fact that this moisturizer is packed with antioxidants and I have sensitive skin but like trying new products. This one didn’t dry my skin out.

Tarte cosmetics tarteist quick dry matte lip paint in vibin: This lip paint has velvet matte finish and is neither too matte nor too glossy. I really enjoy the color and it lasted all day! However, It’s a dry formula, and it came off in flakes. To counteract that I wear my Eos balm as a base, which really keeps my lips moisturized.

ModelCo Eye Define Retractable Crayon Liner in Black: This is a long-wearing, water-resistant formula that doesn’t smudge, budge, or transfer. However, it’s really wobbly and hard to draw with. I am always afraid that it will break anytime. I am really disappointed with this one. I would rather use a liquid liner.

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow in Marisa: This is a shimmery rose colored shadow and gives a nice subtle tone to your eyes. However, for a more dramatic look first just spray your brush with a setting spray. I am an eyeshadow fanatic and love that this shadow glides in smoothly and does not flake. However, I really do not like the fact that it has talc it. I am not a fan of talc, hence I am not happy about it.

Beau Gâchis Tapered Blending Brush: This is a nice soft brush. However, I am really disappointed that I didn’t choose brushes in my preference but was still sent brushes.

Overall, I am disappointed with the March Ipsy Glam Bag. However, I really like the makeup bag, the moisturizer, and the Tarte lip stain. I am hoping for a better bag next month as the last few bag did not disappoint me.

Descriptions: It is a precise soft-focus highlighter that retails for $25. It’s great to apply to hard-to-reach areas, such as underneath the brows, the inner corner of the eye are, and the Cupid’s bow. It is also Infused with vitamins and antioxidants, as is made to nourish and hydrate the skin. Wear it on bare skin or over foundation for a glowy look.

Verdict: I love the highlighter. I specially wear it when I am not wearing when I am not wearing any makeup and going for a no-makeup makeup look and just want the subtle yet radiant finish. I bought the moon highlight and I really like it. It’s a subtle shimmer and that’s what I was looking for. Most of all, it’s portable, hence you can just put it in your purse.
